I think Lifting skill is fine for adventuring situations (e.g. tipping a big rock onto the advancing orcs, lifting a beam of a person trapped in a burning building) where the great variation represents how good a grip you can find, how well you can brace yourself, etc. It's just nonsens for doing weights at the gym. :)
